This isn't punk, at lest not anymore.
I KNOW THAT'S A BIG CLAIM, BUT HEAR ME OUT!!!!
Look, I love punk as much as the next guy, with the music paving potencial for biting, destructive songwriting with almost revolutionary lyrics and harsh, intentionally under proudced and straight to the point, no fluffing around, all while fighting against the norm of a modern society revolting against fast drums and even faster guitars.
